Question for the other nurses re: slutty nurse costumes

Let me preface this by saying that I am not a Feminazi. However, I get so freaking irked when I see the slutty  nurse costumes. I think they are degrading. I busted my hump to get my nursing degree, and anybody that has been through nursing school knows it isn't a cake walk. Nursing school is hard. The science classes (ughh..dreaded A+P) are brutal.

What I do for a living is not "sexy". Digitally disimpacting someone? Not sexy. Giving an enema? Not sexy. Packing a stage 4 sacral wound? Not sexy. You get the point. It's just one of my biggest pet peeves.

  • I am a nurse and I totally agree with you.  I hate it.

  • I agree. I have the same issue with the slutty teacher, police officer, etc. All are jobs that you work your butt off to get into, and take a serious amount of dedication.

  • word.

    yet it doesn't really bother me personally that there's costumes like that. I get tired of old men patients that think that's how we're supposed to look (hello, we don't wear white dresses anymore, we wear dumpy scrubs and sneakers, lol) but I have yet to date see an actual housekeeper wear fishnets and heels while cleaning, so whatevs ;-)

  • I am a nurse, and yes, I hate it. 

    Maybe one year I'll dress as an ACTUAL nurse...you know, maybe go how I would look after 12 hours in the ICU.  Hair a hot mess, blood and feces and vomit and whatever else on my scrubs...how's that for a sexy nurse?

     

  • As someone who is pursuing a nursing degree...I agree with you.  So far, nursing is hard as hell.

  • I'm a prude too.  I don't care for those costumes, and I'm not a fan of the sexy nun, pregnant nun, pervert priest.

  • i think it's sad that women feel the need to be a sexy anything for halloween... unless you are trying to just be a whore- then, go for it :)

    and yeah, what the nurses did for me after giving birth was SO not sexy. I kept thanking them and telling them how much I appreciated them for doing such a gross job :)

  • I totally agree with those of you that hate all sexy costumes. I don't know when Halloween became a time for women to dress so skimpy.
